The professor was dumbfounded.
So they really were a couple.
"Principal, Boss Su and Lin Xuan’s way of interacting is quite... unique," the professor couldn’t help but comment.
He felt like he couldn’t keep up with the times anymore.
He didn’t understand how young couples behaved these days.
"It is quite unique," the Principal nodded in agreement.
As soon as the school officials left, the students immediately began buzzing with gossip.
"I remember Boss Su always doted on Lin Xuan. How could she suddenly punish him? Did they have a fight or something?"
"Are you serious? If they’d really fought, why would Boss Su act so affectionate when Lin Xuan was sleeping earlier? And when she spoke to him just now, she wasn’t cold at all—she was smiling the whole time," another student retorted, rolling his eyes.
"Well, if they didn’t fight, then why did Boss Su punish Lin Xuan just now?" The first student, wide-eyed with innocence, pressed.
"No, no, no. This ‘punishment’ isn’t that kind of punishment," a boy who had watched too many adult films and knew all the ins and outs said mysteriously. "Boss Su was giving Lin Xuan a loving punishment. Get it?"
The innocent student finally caught on, his face instantly burning red.
The other boy slung an arm around his shoulders. "Chen, you’re way too naive. I’ll take you out to broaden your horizons someday."
Su Hua walked ahead, Lin Xuan trailing behind her.
Jiang Qing had already slipped away, leaving just the two of them. Lin Xuan’s heart pounded nervously.
Su Hua didn’t say a word.
She led him straight to the villa.
Lin Xuan’s stomach was in knots.
The moment they stepped inside, Su Hua pinned him against the wall.
"Ah Xuan, why do you look so afraid of me today? Do you think I’ll eat you alive?" Su Hua arched a delicate brow.
Lin Xuan thought to himself—
Wouldn’t she, though?
He thought about the "punishment" she had mentioned.
Well, there was no escaping it. Might as well take the initiative.
Maybe then it wouldn’t last as long.
Lin Xuan wrapped his arms around Su Hua’s slender waist and flipped their positions—now it was him pinning her against the wall.
Su Hua’s lips curled up as she looped her arms around his neck, her brows lifting playfully. "Lin Xuan, what are you trying to do? Seduce the school board director?"
Her tone was dripping with suggestion.
"That’s right. Director Su, will you let me?" Lin Xuan murmured.
"And how exactly do you plan to seduce me?" Su Hua challenged, lips quirking.
Lin Xuan tilted her chin up and kissed her.
A flicker of amusement flashed in Su Hua’s eyes.
Seems Ah Xuan misunderstood something.
But soon, she couldn’t think straight anymore. Lin Xuan’s presence enveloped her completely, intoxicating her. And thanks to her guidance, his kissing skills had improved dramatically.
Su Hua’s mind went hazy.
The air between them grew hotter.
Lin Xuan’s fingers instinctively moved to undo the buttons of her qipao, but Su Hua caught his hand just in time.
"Ah Xuan, so impatient?" she teased in a low voice. "Did you forget? I’m on my period."
Lin Xuan: "..."
He had forgotten.
His Hua Bao was off-limits right now.
Su Hua rose on her tiptoes, pressing her lips to his ear. "Does it hurt down there? Let me help you, okay?"
......
After Lin Xuan found relief, he went to shower.
When he came out, Su Hua was sitting on the sofa, flipping through a magazine.
"Done showering?" She set the magazine aside and padded over in her slippers.
Lin Xuan’s gaze flickered to her red lips, then quickly darted away, his face heating up as memories of earlier flooded back.
Su Hua chuckled at his flustered expression. "Ah Xuan, we’ve been together so long. There’s nothing we haven’t done. No need to be shy."
"Hua Bao, let’s go back," Lin Xuan coughed lightly.
"Not yet," Su Hua smirked. "Ah Xuan hasn’t received his real punishment."
Lin Xuan frowned.
Hadn’t they already—?
"What punishment?" he asked, confused.
"I’m punishing you to spend the rest of the day with me. We’re going out, hm?"
To Su Hua, nothing was more enticing than curling up in bed with Lin Xuan.
But she was on her period, and he had been exhausted the past few days—he needed a break.
The books said not to push a man too hard.
"Alright," Lin Xuan agreed.
Su Hua first took him to an amusement park, then to a romantic movie.
When the female lead began undressing, Su Hua’s brows knitted in displeasure.
She immediately hooked an arm around Lin Xuan’s neck, pulling his face toward her.
"Ah Xuan, don’t look at other women. If you want to see something, I’ll show you later," she whispered.
"Okay."
Lin Xuan nodded.
He hadn’t planned to look anyway. The moment Su Hua touched him, he’d already averted his eyes.
Other women meant nothing to him—they might as well be pigs. He wasn’t interested.
Especially not with a yandere like Su Hua by his side. That was no joke.
Su Hua’s eyes curved into crescents, warmth flickering in her gaze.
Ah Xuan is so well-behaved.
This movie was one Su Hua had specifically asked Jiang Qing to recommend—a deeply romantic film with plenty of steamy scenes.
Most couples wouldn’t be able to resist.
Let alone Su Hua and Lin Xuan, who practically lived in each other’s arms.
They sat in the very back row.
On-screen, the lovers kissed.
In the theater, so did they.
The chemistry between them was electric.
Only the final step remained untouched.
Su Hua mused to herself—she should ask Jiang Qing to find more movies like this.
Meanwhile, photos of Su Hua and Lin Xuan’s outing were taken by Zhao Long’s men and delivered to him.
Zhao Long calmly flipped through the images, his expression unreadable. After a long silence, a cold smile twisted his lips.
"My Ling looks so happy with Lin Xuan. That smile... she never once showed it when she was with us in Shadow."
So happy it makes me want to destroy it.
What a shame. Last time, Lin Xuan was too cunning.
He’d set up countermeasures in advance, avoiding Zhao Long’s trap entirely. Because of that, Ling never saw his true colors.
"Ling," Zhao Long suddenly crushed the photos in his fist. "Love is the most deceitful thing in this world. You should be like before—your eyes should only see blood and my orders."
"Don’t worry. I’ll make sure you see Lin Xuan for what he really is."
A murderous glint flashed in Zhao Long’s eyes.
The moment Ling saw the truth would be Lin Xuan’s last.
If it weren't for Lin Xuan, Ling would never have left the Shadow Organization.
Lin Xuan—that bastard deserves to die.
"Boss," Zhao Long's subordinate asked hesitantly, "what do you plan to do?"

and couldn't return to the real world. Finally, I gave up and decided to go with the flow, only to discover that writing a diary could make me stronger. Since no one could read it, Su Luo wrote freely, daring to pen anything and everything. Female Lead #1: "Not bad. This diary helped me steal all the protagonist's opportunities. I just want to get stronger." Female Lead #2: "I don’t care about reaching the peak of the cultivation world. Right now, I just want to enjoy the chaos." Female Lead #3: "What? Everyone around me is a spy? I’m the Joker Demon Lord?" ... It’s so strange. Why is the plot completely off track, yet the ending remains the same? Are you all just messing with me?!
